The roots obtained by solving longitudinal characteristic equations of motion for a statically stable aircraft are given below:

λ.1,2=-0.02±0.30i, λ.3,4=-2.00±2.50i, where i=√-1

The undamped short-period longitudinal natural frequency (radians/sec) and damping ratio, in that order, are close to
A
3.40, 0.73
B
3.36, 0.65
C
3.83, 0.56
D
3.20, 0.63

Correct : d
